Häcken form and stats

The visitors, who have the fewest conceded goals (19) in Allsvenskan, are W3-D5-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Allsvenskan.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Elfsborg (placed 3rd) in their previous outing. The Allsvenskan match ended in a draw 1-1. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Sirius.

As mentioned above, Häcken drew the match against Elfsborg. Manager A. Alm brought on Johan Hammar to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

We have checked recent matches where Häcken have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were one victory, one draw and four defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Häcken now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Svenska Cupen game at Angered BK is waiting in only three days.

Häcken find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Häcken have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
